Research Interests

Scheduling: Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) under non-delay scheduling. Optimal allocation of resources among activities is an important question in economics and management. (Finding the Shortest Non-Delay Schedule for a Resource-Constrained Project. Int'l. J. of Operations Research and Information Systems, 3(4), 2012 (41-58) (with Cohen and Zwikael))

Product Life and Strategy: Research is about strategic type managerial decisions of when a firm should initiate a product cycle and when to terminate it. In developing the model I relay on the economic theory about optimal allocation of time as a resource. Short run (tactical) and long run (strategic) aspects of product lifecycle over many years are taken in consideration. The impact of technology and the willingness of consumers for new products are considered as well. The objective criterion is maximizing average cash flow. (Optimal Product Lifecycle and Partial Information with Active Learning Computational Economics, 21, 2003 (125-136))

Critical Success Factors: The focus of this study is the importance of organizational support provided to project managers. It is of specific interest to discuss which organizational support factors affect what success dimensions. The projects are categorized according to four scales: novelty, complexity, level of technological uncertainty and the pace of the project (Project Manager-Project (PM-P) Fit and Project Success International Journal of Operations and Production Management (IJOPM) 29(3), 2009 (268-291)). There is an ongoing joined research that focuses on the factors affecting high level decision makers when they decide whether or not to conduct a project. considering long term outcomes and short term outputs

Risk Management: The role of uncertainty at the early stages of project on the success of projects is the main issue to be analyzed. The research deals with managerial and organizational support factors being used in organizations in order to achieve better success. A statistical methodology is used to reveal how project managers confront risk and uncertainty. (Planning Effort as an Effective Risk Management Tool. Journal of Operations Management, 25, 2007 (755-767))
